How Many Outgoing Links is Too Much?


PreviousContentsNext

Thank author of this post/comment

Links are the bread and butter of any SEO strategy. The claim that the more quality links incoming to you, the better, certainly holds strong. This is because quality links, are testament to the credibility of your webpage, something that search engines such as Google give high importance to. Outgoing links from your website is just similarly important if you want to have content that is worth looking at. You may attempt not to put links to other sites at all, but this is impossible unless you want to commit intellectual dishonesty. It also may be the case that you are going to use the outgoing links in order to link to other webpages in your site.

But just how many outgoing links are you supposed to put in your website? The technical limit is the number of characters in your page but, realistically speaking, just how many are allowed? Up to how many links can you place before the search engine crawlers start to believe that your website is a link farm?

The answer really is that it depends. You can put in as few or as many links in your website, as long as it remains helpful to your reader. It is possible that your site is a photo gallery, in which case most of the photos are also outgoing links. But it also may be the case that your website is just an online copy of a book so that it does not have too many links at all.

Just remember that if you are going to use text as anchor, you should not use too much of it as a keyword, or you might risk judgment by the search engines. A safe gauge of keyword density in a single webpage. should be around the 5% mark. Also remember that the more links you have in your page, the less "juice" gets passed on to each individual site. If you have 5 outgoing links, for example, your link juice will be divided into 5 equal parts, unless some of your links have the nofollow tag.
